Looking for something new.
Ive been around this forum for a while, i'm not a newbie, been driving for a little over three years but am just getting burnt out with the unstableness of the local work here in florida. With that said, ive been hauling sod locally for most of my driving time, i did do OTR for almost 4 months at the end of 2004, that job got me home on the weekends, but i rarely saw a legal day of driving, and i know as a driver that was my fault, but it was my firs OTR job, so i guess my thinking was to just "do what i had to do". So anyway, there's a lot of you guys out there who might be able to help, I mentioned i live in Florida which is my first hang up, alot of companies don't want to hire out of florida. I want to be home on weekends, and have my wife as a rider on the truck, I don't want the hassle of van freight. I would like to look further in to Hopper bottoms, dump trailers, or flats. Anyone out there have any info? If so let me know, i've talked to Schwend in Dade City, good gig, but no spouse rider program, also was looking at Montgomery Bulk in Coleman, Fl, but haven't gotten any in depth research so far. Any help would be great, but i can understand if this is a hard criteria to meet. Please no Van companies though, just came to the conclusion i don't want the hassle.
Thanks a lot, Zach from Florida.
